In plain words
Folder Hub is a macOS utility that places a hidden file access panel under the MacBook's notch for quick retrieval without obscuring active windows. Users can create multiple customizable workspaces organized by project, each containing pinned folders and files. The panel appears when moving the mouse to the notch area, allowing users to open files or drag-and-drop them into applications like browsers. It's designed for people who frequently navigate deep folder structures and need easier access to project files while working.

When you need to retrieve files from the desktop, simply move your mouse to the notch, and the Folder Hub window will appear. You can open files or even drag and drop files into the browser for uploading, as shown in the website. Additionally, you can directly drag and drop files into Folder Hub to pin commonly used folders to a specific workspace for future access.
